Synopsis

This article is a business trip narrative when I first entered the workplace in my twenties. It focuses on my workplace experience from 1995 to 1998, especially the experience of purchasing supplies in Datong, Shanxi Province in 1998. During those years, the wave of state-owned enterprise restructuring was sweeping in with an unstoppable force, and the buds of the market economy were rough but vigorous. Amidst the "embarrassment of debt collection", the hardships of business trips, and the unexpected dangers, I touched the social texture of the 1990s bit by bit - those unsound rules, the complex dealings between people, and the goodwill and cunning revealed in difficulties, all turned into marks of growth. The main line of the story is loyal to historical facts, some plots are artistically processed, and the names are pseudonyms, just to restore the youthful journey intertwined with bitterness and warmth, confusion and determination.

Reader comments

Narrative about the times
In the 1990s, more than ten years after the reform and opening up, there are still many shadows of the planned economy era. A few years before the author first entered the workplace, through the perspective of a salesman, he examined the workplace experience of that era, as well as the economic environment and operating difficulties of state-owned enterprises at that time. In the story, there are not only the author's youthful growth experience, but also observation and thinking.
